title: [Highly selective affinity labeling of DNA-dependent RNA-polymerase II from human placenta].
abstract: RNA polymerase II from human placenta was affinity labelled in crude preparation using two-step technique, which includes treatment of the enzyme with an aldehyde-containing reactive analogue of ATP, ADP or AMP in the presence of poly[d(A-T)] followed (after borohydride reduction) by the elongation of the attached label with [alpha-32P]UTP. A polypeptide of the molecular mass ca. 140 kDa proved to be the labelling target. No labelling was observed in the absence of poly[d(A-T)] or the reagent or in the presence of alpha-amanitin. All the results suggest the attachment of the affinity reagents to the second-largest subunit of the human RNA polymerase II, which therefore takes part in the initiation substrate's binding.
